Canuck the crow flew the coop with a knife from a crime scene in Vancouver Tuesday.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Canuck the crow, described as Vancouver\u2019s most notorious bird, reportedly perched on top of a burnt-out car that a crime suspect had earlier set alight, and watched as the suspect drew out a knife when the police arrived.<\/p>\n The suspect was shot by police, receiving non fatal wounds, and he was arrested, as reported by the Vancouver Courier.<\/p>\n The crow – which has a distinctive red tag on its leg – reportedly then swooped in and picked up the knife from an area cordoned off by police.<\/p>\n \u201cA cop chased it for about 15 to 20 feet, and then the crow dropped it and took off,\u201d reporter Mike Howell told CBC News.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was really strange. In my 20-plus years reporting from crime scenes, I’ve never seen anything like that crow trying to take a knife.\u201d<\/p>\n Resident in area says crow known as Canuck.
